GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This user guide describes the operation and functionality of the

AD5501/AD5504 evaluation board. Use this user guide in

conjunction with the AD5501 or AD5504 data sheet (as

appropriate) to evaluate board the functionality and

performance of the AD5501/AD5504. The evaluation board can

be used as a standalone board, with control coming from an

external DSP or microcontroller, or it can be connected to a PC.

Software is provided that can be used to program the registers of

the AD

FUNCTIONALITY OVERVIEW

The evaluation board for the AD5501/AD5504 allows the user

to fully evaluate all the functions and performance of the AD5501/

AD5504 prior to designing it into a system. The evaluation

board can be used in a standalone mode with the control

signals provided through the 10-pin header, J6, or it can be

connected to a PC using the USB cable supplied with the

evaluation board kit. Software is provided that allows the user

to program the various registers of the AD5501/AD5504 with

ease. The operation of the software is described in the Using the

USB Software section.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Because the AD5501/AD5504 are capable of producing voltages

up to 60 V, the evaluation board is shipped with a perspex cover

on the top and bottom. This cover should remain in place to

prevent accidental contact with any high voltage components

or tracks.

POWER SUPPLIES

To supply V

LOGIC

, the evaluation board requires a 2.7 V to 5 V

supply. The V

supply can be any value within the power

supply limit as specified in the AD5501/AD5504 data sheets.

Power supply connections are made to the banana sockets of

J2 to J5. The USB interface, if used, gets its power supply from

the USB port of the PC. This power supply is not used by the

AD5501/AD5504 or any of its associated circuitry. When

connecting the power supply leads, it is recommended that

the supplies be turned off and that the ground leads be

connected first.

DAC OUTPUTS

The DAC output for the AD5501 is available on the SMB

connector, T1. The DAC outputs V

OUTA

to V

OUTD

for the

AD5504 are available on the SMB connectors, T1 to T4.

USB INTERFACE

The software provided with the evaluation board kit allows

the user to program the registers of the AD5501/AD5504 via

the USB interface. It is important that the software supplied

is installed on the PC before the board is connected. The USB

circuitry gets its power from the USB port of the PC and gene-

rates the required interface signals:

CLR

SYNC

, and SCLK to

control the AD5501/AD5504. To use the interface Link LK1

should be inserted.

STANDALONE OPERATION

The evaluation board can be used as a standalone device if

required. The advantage to this is that it lets the user connect

the interface pins of the AD5501/AD5504 to their own DSP or

microcontroller, thus allowing them to write code to operate the

AD5501/AD5504 as their application requires. To use the board

in standalone mode, the connection to the USB interface must

be removed. This is achieved by removing LK1, which three-

states the connections to

CLR

LDAC

SYNC

, SCLK

and SDI. LK10 should be in Position B or Position C so that

the

R_SEL

pin is connected to DGND or V

LOGIC

as required.

The interface signals required to control the AD5501/AD5504

can then be provided through the 10-pin header, J6. The pinout

of J6 is shown in . Table 1

Table 2. Summary of Link Positions

Link Description

LK1 This link determines if the USB interface is to be used.

If this link is inserted, the USB interface generates the signals required to control the AD5501/AD5504.

If this link is removed, the USB interface is not used, and Header J3 must be used to provide signals to the AD5501/AD5504.

LK2

This link connects the V

LOGIC

pin of the AD5501/AD5504 to the V

LOGIC

source. This link can be removed and an ammeter connected

across the two pins if it is required to measure the V

LOGIC

current. The source for V

LOGIC

is determined by LK9.

LK3

This link connects the V

pin of the AD5501/AD5504 to the V

source. This link can be removed and an ammeter connected

across the two pins if it is required to measure the V

current.

LK9 This link selects the voltage source for V

LOGIC

If this link is in Position A, V

LOGIC

= 5 V from the USB interface.

If this link is in Position B, V

LOGIC

= 3 V from the voltage regulator, U3.

If this link is in Position C, V

LOG IC

is connected to the banana sockets, J4 and J5. An external voltage source should be applied to these

sockets.

LK10

This link selects the logic level applied to R_SEL

If this link is in Position A, R_SEL

is controlled by software.

If this link is in Position B, R_SEL

is connected to DGND.

If this link is in Position C, R_SEL

is connected to V

LOGIC

USING THE USB SOFTWARE

The evaluation board kit is supplied with a CD containing PC

software that allows the user to control the evaluation board via

the USB interface. Note that the software must be installed before

the evaluation board is connected to the USB port. The software

installation program usually runs automatically when the CD is

inserted in the drive; however, if this doesn’t happen, double-

click the setup.exe file in the root directory of the CD. The soft-

ware is installed, and shortcuts are placed on the start menu in a

folder called Analog Devices. When the software is installed,

the evaluation board can be connected to the USB port.

When the software is started, the user is presented with a

selection box. The selection box presents a choice of using the

AD5501 or AD5504. Click the appropriate button for the board

being used.

The main control panel for the AD5504 software is shown in

Figure 2. Use this panel to load values to the DACs and set the

status of the

LDAC

and

CLR

pins. It should be noted that when

power is first applied to the AD5501/AD5504, the DACs are

powered down by default. The DACs are powered up by

selecting the appropriate options in the control register panel.
